So what will the Militant be doing for New Year's Eve? Before your mind conjures up images of him standing on top of Mt. Hollywood in Griffith Park, firing rifles into the air at the stroke of midnight, the Militant will let you know that he plans to spend it with several of his operatives at one of their houses in an unspecified part of the Valley (where there will be much alcohol, food, music and alcohol).

But that's generally what we do (aside from the 50,000 who are headed to the QuasiRaveMassives in Downtown or the million-plus (again, mostly tourists) playing homeless for the night on Colorado Blvd in Pasadena), spend it with friends or family, people who are close to us (so much for the theory that Angelenos don't care about each other). Besides, pretty much all of those folks freezing their asses off in Times Square three hours earlier are tourists - real NY locals don't really bother with the ball drop (unless they happen to have access to a hotel, apartment or office right at the Square where they can enjoy the moment without dealing with barriers, crowds, porta-potties and the cold). They're just partying with loved ones as well.

That's pretty much it for 2007, readers. It's been a landmark year for the Militant in many ways. But don't expect a "Top 10 Militant Angeleno Post" retrospective; the Militant ain't about looking back (though he does appreciate the history), he's into looking at (and fighting for) the future. Besides, in that green box to your right are 162 of the Militant's Greatest Posts of 2007 - in chronological order. How bout that, huh?

Manifesto

A 100% Los Angeles native, the Militant Angeleno lives in a compound in an unspecified neighborhood of central Los Angeles. His life consists largely of his various adventures around the city, which are documented in this blog. The Militant is also multi-modal and is not dependent on any one mode of transportation, although he is most known for traversing the City's streets via bicycle. The Militant can be described as part-activist, part-superhero, giving the voice to the voiceless and silencing those who just plain whine too much. Partly because of his selfless motives, he prefers to refer to himself in the third person, as the first-person is too self-centered. The Militant is anonymous and goes to great lengths to protect his identity and is aided and protected by an unspecified number of operatives, who are sworn to secrecy as to his identity. Most important, the Militant's ultimate objective is not to be the Militant Angeleno, but to empower and enlighten other Angelenos, so that they may be militants in their own right. Oh yeah, Go Dodgers!
